Graceland Eco Retreat

The retreat is situated on 85 Hectares spanning the Kudu River Valley and is ideal for hiking and birding enthusiasts, although total relaxation is also encouraged. Bordering the forests and plantations of Magoebaskloof and the Woodbush Forest Reserve, Graceland offers guests the opportunity to enjoy a unique kind of Bushveld. The retreat overlooks the Kudu River Valley with views all the way to Mooketsi and the mountain range beyond. Although we offer a 24-hour Wi-Fi connection the mobile phone connection and quality fluctuate, something we aim to enjoy along with no television. Dinner and Breakfast are available at Pause Restaurant but must be pre-ordered and paid 72 hours in advance, Bookings can be made via info@gracelandeco.co.za. Your hosts Anders and Douglas with their lazy ginger cats and cocker spaniels will ensure that your stay at Graceland Eco Retreat will be a memorable, relaxing, and exciting experience.
